The HPE 804329-001 is a Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen10 internal storage controller designed for selected HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. It provides 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA connectivity, allowing compatible hard drives and SSDs to be managed through supported RAID configurations.
Its Type-a modular design fits into a dedicated storage controller slot, rather than occupying a standard PCIe expansion slot. This makes it a practical replacement for businesses maintaining existing ProLiant Gen10 systems.
The E208i-a is a cacheless RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. It also supports Mixed Mode, allowing RAID and HBA operations to be used simultaneously.

Not every server requires an advanced RAID controller with dedicated cache memory. The E208i-a provides essential storage management features for businesses that need reliable SAS or SATA connectivity without additional cache hardware.
Its main features include:
For workloads requiring hardware write-back cache or more advanced RAID features, a different Smart Array controller may be more appropriate.
The E208i-a SR Gen10 controller is supported in selected HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers, including configurations of the:
Compatibility depends on the server model, chassis configuration, firmware and available controller slot.
HPE also offers a low-height version of the E208i-a controller for certain configurations. For example, some DL360 Gen10 systems require the low-height controller when particular PCIe expansion cards are installed.
Before ordering 804329-001, check the existing controller label and the server’s maintenance documentation.
One useful feature of the E208i-a is its ability to operate in Mixed Mode.
In RAID mode, supported drives can be grouped into logical arrays. RAID 1 and RAID 10 provide redundancy when configured with suitable drives.
HBA mode allows supported physical drives to be presented individually to the operating system, which may be useful for certain software-defined storage environments.
Mixed Mode allows both approaches to be used through one controller, subject to the operating system and storage configuration.
Remember that RAID is not a replacement for a separate backup strategy.
When replacing a failed storage controller, matching the correct part number is important, particularly if the server already contains configured RAID arrays.
Before replacement:
Follow the applicable HPE maintenance instructions when installing the replacement. Avoid creating or initialising new arrays on existing drives without confirming the intended recovery procedure.
A New or unused controller may be suitable for businesses maintaining older ProLiant Gen10 infrastructure. Confirm whether the product is unused legacy stock and check the supplied warranty.
A Refurbished controller can offer a cost-conscious replacement for an existing E208i-a installation.
Before purchasing, ask whether the controller has been inspected and tested for hardware detection, SAS connectivity and storage management functionality.
For either condition, confirm the exact part number, supplied accessories, warranty and UK delivery arrangements.
